| Finished this Oct 08 (before VA I found VA). Would have make a nice build. BMJR make laser repros of '40's on up Free Flight models. Quality is outstanding. Laser cut are very fine and honey colored, not burnt. This one I converted to RC. |

| Beautiful! I really like the old time designs.
Is the pod (bomb) whatzit droppable? |

| THE BOMB. Here we go. I "Thought" it needed a ton of nose weight. The CG on the plan couldn't possibly be correct! No way. So I say "Hey Jimmy, how'a'bouts we put a bomb on your new plane (...and fill it up with lead to get the CG to where "I" know it should be). Well I had about eight servings of "Humble Pie" that day. Wish I had that first flight on tape. Hilarious. No,the bomb doesn't drop. But I wish it did. |

| What's that saying? Something about you only fly a tail heavy plane once. At least it was nose heavy. |

| 8 in.cord. Plans had CG indicated at 1.75 in. from the "trailing" edge forward. Wierd I thought. After the excitement, I did some "Book learnin'". Obvious and smart reasons why. Center of Lift, Center of Gravity, coupled with launch and flight criteria equal and absolutely ingenious solution with infinite variables to throw into their designs. The Free-Flight guys have my total admiration. Seriously tricky tuning. |
